Right then. Hello. I'm The Doctor. Some of you know this, some of you don't. Been a bit quiet for awhile -- I know, I know, I'm never quiet and, to those of you who know me, that's probably been nice. But. Yes. Busy. I'm good at busy. Very good at busy. Not so good at cooking I've discovered.
I figured it couldn't hurt to come here and ask but, nobody's seen a blue police box just lying around anywhere have they? I haven't seen it in quite some time, so I doubt it, but I don't really think it could hurt to ask.

Jack, Ianto, Amy, Rory, say Hello. Barbra, you too.
Now. Here's the thing. Home universes. We have them in common -- and yes, yes, I know Barbra doesn't, one thing at a time -- I know we're not all from the same time, and that should be causing much, much, much more in the ways of problems than it should, but lets try and not jinx ourselves too much. I also know there are, well, things that could make this situation rather complicated, lets just say. But, we're all going to get together. My flat -- hate that I have a flat -- and we're going to eat. The bit about cooking up there? Rubbish I'm great at cooking -- it's physics and flavors, flavor physics -- and yes.
Now, some basic rules. Future's. Don't know, don't want to know. If stories slip out? I'll live, maybe. Seriously. All paradoxes of this place aside, like being here with myself more than once now, I'd really like to avoid the messy messy parts that come with knowing futures. Without a TARDIS here, it makes those things awful hard for my hearts to take -- no way to fix them, you understand.
Next? No fighting. I want everyone to play nice. And be nice to Barbra. I know she's not a usual member of Team TARDIS -- that is what it's called at some point? -- just love that name -- but she's more capable of being a big-big-big-big help here. Whole thing was kind of her idea really, or probably wouldn't have thought of it without her. Anyway, yes, the thing.
We're going to be running some tests, trying to establish energy signatures of common universes in attempt to reverse whatever 'magic' it is that brought us here. Not saying it's not magic, for the record, just saying magic is very much like physics, if you threw away most things humans know about physics and decided to make them work. Universe is a funny place, I know, but it is possible.
Lastly. Hush about this. A lot of people here still have a hope about returning home, it's why this isn't some big broadcast yet. Even I don't quite understand how it is we all ended up here, and I think it's high time we figured it out. Point is, I don't want to go getting everyone's hopes up at once. Hope's important for this kind of things -- half the time it's the only thing that makes it work.
I promise, no harm, random teleportation, extrapolation, body swapping, or any other kind of nonsense. Well, no. I say any other kind, but we all know that's not true. Still. Perfectly safe. Just going to attempt to correlate some data, get some clues, solve a mystery. You know..the things I do.
